Synopsis
Buckle up, it's gonna be a smooth ride. Howdy, friend. I'm Rusty, and so is my big-rig's engine. When the old girl finally gave up the ghost in the middle of nowhere, I wasn't expecting to get a tow from an alien mothership. But the next thing I knew, me and my buddy Mike were halfway across the galaxy in an oversized hubcap full of the weirdest space creatures you ever did see. Turns out aliens are mighty friendly folks, but they can't fix their tech to save their lives. Didn't take long for us to put our know-how to good use, fix a bunch of gizmos, and make a load of friends, but I was still eagerly countin' the days 'til they'd drop us back in sweet home Alabama. That is until I met Piper Skyflare—a pretty little green-skinned lieutenant in the Martian Sky Force, with knockout curves and a right hook to match. With Piper to hold my hand and Mike to hold my beer, I'm making the most of this cosmic road trip. It's a wild ride, but one thing's for sure—a sense of humor and a roll of duct tape can get you through darn near anything. That and coffee. Lots of coffee. No Stress Space Express is a story about finding your true family, told with the common-sense wisdom of Jerry Boyd's Bob and Nikki series (Bob's Saucer Repair) , and the low-stakes world building of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes . Join Rusty and his crew for a heart-warming, laugh-out-loud adventure with no tension, and no drama. Just good clean fun, great friendships, and a little romance too.
